Debate is such an interesting activity! We get to know the topic in and out…what’s in support and what’s not….We recently had a debate on “The role and relevance of commodity markets.” Was an exhilarating experience…I always used to wonder why is a commodity market so important…now I know, it’s so because a slight change in the price of a commodity affects the GDP very sharply. A commodity markets are a platform for exchange of primary products. It all started way back in 1875 when cotton was traded. India has an export basket for Gems and Jewels, Petroleum Products, etc. It happens through futures trading and derivatives trading. But sadly, there are problems associated with this: farmer participation is negligible, growth rate of inflation gets accelerated due to futures trading in commodities…there are various challenges involved too…some suggestions that we all agreed upon in the end were consolidation of all exchanges, de-regulating on the part of the government…intelligent crowd we are!…

Marketing Myopia - a simple and powerful concept brought forward in an essay by economist Theodore Levitt. He discussed the concept using the decline of US railways in the twentieth century as an example. The concept is relevant today and would be even more so in future. Compare Nintendo with Sony and Microsoft . Did Nintedo manage to rewrite the rule book because it wasn't myopic or was it something else?

Sabse bada Rupaiya?

Hey guys we've have a banker coming to IMT .... oh boy and just about time too, i've been dying to get to the bottom of a depreciating rupee ( imports get costlier .. sadly so do apple products)... and not to forget inflation hyped India (apple gets even MORE costlier :(  R.I.P Steve ) ... We all want to hear his solution to the dilemma's ... after all we live in an oxymoron universe where banks create problems ... and they are the only ones that can save us .... The rupee crossed the 52 to a dollar benchmark ... a record ...what does it mean? hmmm .... i'm sure the banks must have some measures against a further depreciation in the rupee ..  a totally different story for the governments efforts to curb inflation as imports get expensive?... too many unanswered questions .... oh boy just can't wait..

Future Inspirations

Hello guys as our B.O.P is coming to an end i must say its been a treat of a whole two weeks, some of us suddenly have sparks in their eyes..... i guess meeting a significant personality who carries the weighted  responsibility of an organisation affecting millions of people does that to you ...NOW Imagine meeting a handful of these people and on top of that watch these men and women worth millions enjoying the same coffee we all share.... I've been sprinting in the night to tire my excited self and get some sleep. Here you have some of the biggest names in the country sitting right next to you and telling you that they were exactly like us at our age (mom & dad i hope u'r reading) what more can we ask for . An absolute Awe-striking experience specially considering their individual experiences and definitely not forgetting their wisecracks and one-liners, lets try remembering and posting them up to keep our motivations sky high... for who knows one day we also might be inspiring the future..
